The realm of orthodontics often extends beyond braces and aligners, delving into more intricate territories like surgical orthodontics or orthognathic surgery. This advanced procedure corrects severe cases involving malocclusions, jaw bone abnormalities, and bad bites, necessitating a collaborative approach between your orthodontist and an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Given the complexity and permanence of such procedures, the importance of expert advice cannot be overstated.

Understanding the Implications of Surgical Orthodontics

Surgical orthodontics is reserved for the most severe cases where conventional treatments cannot bring the desired results. It’s a commitment not just in terms of the procedure itself but the comprehensive journey involving pre-surgical orthodontic treatment, the surgery, and a post-surgical period that could extend to several months.
